Andrew Jackson
Americans are not a perfect people, but we are called to a perfect mission.
Andrew Jackson
The safety of the republic being the supreme law, and Texas having offered us the key to the safety of our country from all foreign intrigues and diplomacy, I say accept the key and bolt the door at once.
